In my experience one of the most difficult things to get a team of software engineers to realize is that you are just trying to move some bits from one place to another. Folks come up with these elaborate constructions that create all kinds of problems in order to solve problems that are fundamentally not that complicated. "I want to make some graphs. I need a generalized data transformation pipeline." No you don't. You need to ingest the data you have, and you need to draw a picture. "I want to automate hardware tests. I need a platform that provides pluggable instrument interfaces, a data stream abstraction, and analysis tools." No, you need a Python script that creates a CSV file. "I want to serve a web page. I need..." ...well, you get the idea.

Solve the problem. Don't make new ones.

I wonder if this is also true for solid forms of water, or other high vapor pressure solids.

This could lead to some interesting new techniques for doing materials processing.

Selling snake oil? Of generative AI? Where most companies have failed to turn profitable just because these models are not as useful and reliable especially in "high value use cases" such as "read this 100 page insurance policy and tell me if my situation X is covered or not and in both cases under what clauses" kind of cases?
Don't have any to link off hand, but the basic gist is this:

Electrical wiring of any sort are all antennas to varying degrees, transmitting and receiving electromagnetic signals. Most mains electrical wiring is also unshielded, meaning they readily transmit and receive electromagnetic signals.

Powerline ethernet basically puts ethernet data on mains electrical wiring by utilizing the bands that aren't used for carrying power. This data is very, very noisy in electrical noise terms, and because most wiring also acts as an antenna that noise also gets broadcast everywhere.

Simple electronics like your coffee machine or microwave oven won't care, but more sensitive electronics like radios can in turn receive interference from both the power line and the noise broadcast into the air.
I don't know — the post, reading the comments here, I am a little worried for the "sanity" of our AI that have been trained, untrained, retrained like a pawn in some kind of Cold War spy novel.
I don't know if "cultural Marxism" is a real thing or not.

What do I know is that I have not met anyone who used that term who could explain it, or most of their other very confidently-held beliefs either.
I think you're underestimating the technological development in the last 80 years to a comical degree. In 1944, half the country didn't have flush toilets!
I’ve heard stories from people who have worked at Hanford, and it seems like a lot of that money is being squandered. Excess caution, basically everything is radioactive waste, and just overall wasteful spending for decades.
With regards to the idea of function keys, sometimes I wish there were keys reserved such that only the end user was "allowed" to bind them. I often am looking for keys to bind and they are always all taken.

One thing I like about gaming mice is there is no real expectations for what buttons 4+ do, so I can bind away.

The actual method on how you would keep software company out of what they would perceive as "free real estate" on the keyboard I leave to others, I have no clue, the mentioned cua?
he was dealing with that situation already in the 01970s—he was using an extensible programming language that people kept extending, so the programs he wrote one day would break the next—which is why he designed τεχ in such a way that you can take any τεχ document from 40 years ago and render it in exactly the same way in current τεχ

one of the drop-dead showstopper tests in the τεχ release process since that time has been the 'τεχ torture test'; it's an enormous random τεχ document which has to produce byte-identical output on each new version of τεχ for it to be released, unless he can justify each difference. so he's not opposed to automated testing, he just tends to do it at a larger granularity
You mean the environment? Absolutely.

We can't have discussion of that on HN, though, so the moderator has flagged it.

> it's very hard to deny that criticism of Israel's long-term policies of settlement has increasingly come under more and more scrutiny

Oh absolutely. The legitimacy of Israel’s entire Palestine strategy has essentially crumbled. Its ability to conduct diplomatic relations has been impaired, and it’s got a massive perception problem across an entire generation.

But when someone says Israel is losing legitimacy, they are arguing that its continued existence as a state is under threat. When the Taliban refused to hand over Bin Laden, they lost legitimacy with the United States. That’s what a country losing legitimacy means—it’s no longer treated like a real country. (I don’t necessarily think everyone who says this understands this. But that’s what those words mean.)

And in respect of Israel, that simply isn’t true. In terms of pariah status it isn’t even in the world’s top ten. Its support in America—its security guarantor—is surprisingly stable. It has nukes. This isn’t a view seriously held by anyone with any military or international relations credibility. That said, I see why it has appeal in a sort of karmic justice way. Because it’s not fun to watch e.g. a Sudanese warlord or junta in Myanmar commit war crimes and win.

But how would you do it differently?

You need to host a bunch of daemons (MQTT, ZWave and ZigBee bridges, and whatever else you might need). And a bunch of these daemons can have their own gnarly dependencies (e.g. they can be written in JS and built with NPM, ugh).

So you kinda _need_ to use Docker to make it at least sane.

And if you're using Docker for the plugins, then why not use it for the HA core itself?

And once you do that, you don't really need much from the host system. So why not use a minimalistic OS instead of something like Debian?
They’re also significantly narrower than they need to be to stop a car:

Perplexity results are impressive. I wonder, how does combined models perform on MMLU and other problem-solving benchmarks. It can be that this infini-gram method is exactly the thing that “hacks” perplexity without adding any “understanding” to the model.

Not really. Top Russian officials, say Dmitri Medvedev, are still shitposting on twitter:

> Macron preparing to go to kyiv? But he's a zoological coward!

Most Russian news websites are still up, say vesti.ru

And Russia is active participant in a war, while Quatar is not bombing anyone.

Just to clarify: that clip was broadcast on a separate channel called AJ Live (“Mubasher”). It’s a 24/7 channel that basically broadcasts entire live events and re-runs - think press conferences, speeches, etc. I would compare it to something like C-SPAN in the US.

Now, how much editorial input AJ has over this channel, that I don’t know.

Edit: Kind of proud that my quick explanation lines up pretty well with the wiki entry haha: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Jazeera_Mubasher
Thanks for the reference. The BBC series is actually called "The Secret War":

The actual standard (well, the previous version, BS 7666-1:2006) does contain that wording, but also says:

> Abbreviations and punctuation shall not be used unless they appear in the designated name, e.g. “Dr Newton’s Way”, and only single spaces shall be used.

Given that "alphanumeric" is vague, not defined, and prominently contradicted, I'd say it's quite clear that they can't really blame it on BS 7666.

The council probably have some horrible CSV-infested GIS workflow, and have decided to change reality to avoid the bugs.
Just as a comparison. An assistant professor in UK makes about the same as a Harvard PhD student (50k).
And so the cosmic scales apparently require that this person be discriminated against, not on the basis of anything they’ve done, or have had done for them, but because of the colour of their skin and what wasn’t done to them. Regardless of all other hardships and lack of opportunity they may have experienced their whole life.

I still don’t follow the logic, if you’re claiming there is some to be followed.
Man who set aviation milestone flying nonstop around the world dies at 85
- No, we just need better ways to generate electricity, which Sam Altman is also working on.

- If something is not replacing labor, it will not devalue it. In this case, GPT4 is replacing human labor, which is indeed devaluing those specific labors. But it is also unlocking new potential, which in the history of all technology has always been a net positive in the end.

- I wasn't aware of this unspoken social contract before OpenAI existed, but maybe I'm just ignorant.

- This is true, but this is also a trend that has been headed downward for a long time thanks to Google/SEO. The signal-to-noise ratio has indeed gone down due to GPT-powered blog spam, but honestly we needed to get our act together before GenAI anyway. This is actually lighting a fire under people's butts to find ways to avoid the AdSense/affiliate marketing fueled drivel.
Here you go. https://www.aljazeera.net/news/liveblog/2023/10/7/%D9%82%D8%...

Really was not hard to find.

So, for instance:

"تواصلت الاشتباكات بين القوات الإسرائيلية ومقاومين فلسطينيين بمواقع داخل إسرائيل، وذلك مع دخول اليوم الثالث من عملية طوفان الأقصى التي أطلقتها كتائب عز الدين القسام التابعة لحركة المقاومة الإسلامية حماس ضد الاحتلال الإسرائيلي..."

"The clashes between the Israeli forces and Palestinian resistance fighters continued at locations inside Israel, as the third day of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation launched by the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas against the Israeli occupation proceeds..."

1. "مقاومين فلسطينيين" (Palestinian resistance fighters): The term "resistance fighters" conveys a sense of legitimacy and heroism to the Palestinian combatants, compared to more neutral terms like "militants" or "combatants."

2. "الاحتلال الإسرائيلي" (the Israeli occupation): This phrase inherently carries a negative connotation and frames Israel as an occupying force, which is a viewpoint that aligns with Palestinian narratives and is contentious in international discussions.

3. "عملية طوفان الأقصى" (Al-Aqsa Flood operation): The operation's name itself, invoking the Al-Aqsa mosque—a highly symbolic and emotive site in the conflict—suggests a righteous or justified struggle, further aligning the narrative with Palestinian perspectives.

These choices in vocabulary serve to frame the conflict in a way that emphasizes Palestinian resistance against an unjust "occupation," aligning closely with the Palestinian viewpoint and potentially eliciting a sympathetic response from Arab audiences.

This framing influences how readers perceive the events, creating a less neutral, more partisan view of the conflict.

https://www.aljazeera.net/news/liveblog/2023/10/7/%D9%82%D8%...

This language makes it extremely difficult to have a conversation about the conflict. Everything Israel does is framed as nefarious and evil.
3rded.

There's nothing substantive in this article. The author expresses a seething hatred for OpenAI's CEO by repeatedly lampooning ("where's the evidence!?") brief quotes, without context, of Altman's opinions/predictions. I hope that the author escapes whatever rut made him so overwhelmingly bitter and resentful. I've been there, and it truly stinks. :/
it can definitely be enhanced by drugs; i've found that modafinil boosts my reverse-digit-span score from about 7 digits to about 11 digits
What makes that unfair? Being an Eagle Scout can convey information about your talents and character.

It's explicitly favoring people over immutable characteristics like race or what university your parents attended that is unfair.

I can't help but want complex grammers for speech recognition :-). There really needs to be a hybrid between speech recognition grammar based commands and natural language for commands.
I learned something today, I had no idea there was a coherent ideology of cultural Marxism. I had always assumed it was just a term made up on the spot in the spirit of “Marxism=bad leftie thing” (don’t you know how many died under Mao/Stalin?!), therefore lumping all of progressive politics in with it.

This might be contrasted with “postmodern Marxism” or “postmodern neo-Marxism” which is some kind of pseudointellectual epithet but is seems fundamentally incoherent. Postmodernism rejects grand narratives about society, but Marxism itself is a grand narrative (namely, that capitalist society should be framed as a class struggle between workers and capitalists).

In the other hand, I think there’s reason to believe the term “cultural Marxism” has undergone semantic shift recently. I see this quite frequently in progressive/conservative politics (another example is the term “woke”). So it may be best to either retire the term altogether or at least explicitly define it first. The cultural Marxism discussed in 60s and 70s academia is not the same thing as what the Norway terrorist was referring to in his manifesto.
You really took a turn there by calling attention to their skin color. The interesting thing here isn’t that they look the same, but that they think the same.
Yes, it's real.

The other part of this decision not to protect human-powered mobility (pedestrian, bicycle, wheelchair, etc.) is that we allow or encourage automotive traffic as a constant, and _then_ we choose not to protect people. It’s a two step process where we make an active choice to create danger and then a second choice not to mitigate the danger.
Is there a list of these projects that are 1 to 5ish people maintained, like the mentioned XZ Util.
Would be nice to have some sort of monitoring changes in these.
Awesome. It would be a nice challenge to make a helicopter autopilot, because MSFS doesn't include one like it does for fixed wing.
There's also this weird mentality of, "If I was oppressed because of quality X, everyone else who has quality X was also oppressed because of it." When did it become OK to assume everyone would have the same experience just because they have some specific quality in common?

There are less police on the street and monitoring traffic than ever. Somehow we have more cops and way less visibility. Guess they are sit at a desk and pretend to work now ?
What's the direction of Microsoft, Amazon, or Apple? They're too big to have one direction.
Watching the clip is just the usual "Who you gonna believe? us our your lying eyes?". Thing is that the days of a media fully controlling the narrative are gone. Before it was easier since all you had were rumors of what was really going on but now anyone can take video and give direct proof, how are you going to Baghdad-Bob your way into the narrative you want?.

The best they can aim for is trying to create a narrative that at least somewhat aligns with the reality that is impossible to fully hide now.
The guidelines are laugthably naive in the light of current global security environment and level of threats involved. Who said a long standing member of community can't be a threat? Who checks identity of contributors? All I know it's enough to have an email to create a github account. Is FBI checking their credentials?
A big part of this is the value of walled gardens/IP.

If laws were changed so IP/data wasn't protectable, then next year there would be lots of people making cloned/modded copies of Facebook. Likewise, there would be lots of people taking Nvidias GPU design and making variations on it.

(this is assuming a world where everything currently closed source is made open source through law changes)

And in both cases, competition would push prices and profit margins to near zero.
I don't think I even want to ask what the hell 'memetic prison' means.
> A key thing to note is that many homogeneous countries are extremely racist but don’t notice it because it doesn’t hugely impact day to day life

It is 10 years old, but WaPo created a map of how people responded to a question about someone of another race being their neighbor.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2013/05/15...

to add to what you said, racism probably doesn't impact anyone they know either. In that sense maybe it isn't a "problem" in homogeneous countries, but it does seem like a powder-key just waiting for the fuse to be lit. Particularly in an increasingly global world.
You can label it a "bad habit", but these are precisely the sort of stereotypical shortcuts that are needful if we're to get on with life.
How was the outreach aimed at you different than the outreach aimed at any other students?
Oh I see, so what I do is I use rg -l aka —-files-with-matches. To produce the relevant files and I use the filepath as the key for the next part of the processing pipeline.

So the pattern is to reduce the candidate set of files with rg or find then extract the relevant parts using xargs jq then pipe to jq -s to produce the dataset.
that could still be ' handling,

try to sql

(`type`:'express post',`from`:'st mary's street',`value`:'50')

and it will drop the value field, throw an error, and quite possibly duplicate several type and half filled froms depending on how the error handling is done.

This article is basically admitting its cheaper to change the street names than unfux their buggy software, so something is up. what are the other options that meet that criteria?
It's stupid that these communications are such a liability. Most corporations make the same comments, but so long as they're over video chat or telephone they're inadmissible. The same over text is somehow admissable, and read without any context. It's like that old joke about a bad read in court - "Your honor, the witness said 'no, don't, stop'" "She didn't say it that way!"
You don't have to write this, it already exists as the (unsafe of course) method Option::unwrap_unchecked

Because all Rust's methods can be called as free functions, you can literally write Option::unwrap_unchecked for the same behaviour, or you can some_option.unwrap_unchecked() (in both cases you will need to be in unsafe context for this to be allowed and should write a SAFETY comment explaining why you're sure it's correct)
Security is impossible as long as governments ask for backdoors.
The need to electrify the economy has more to do with peak fossil fuel or level of CO2 in atmosphere, than nuclear.

Comparing nuclear and wind is a bit apples and oranges. One is intermetent and one is not. The lifespans are different too, as nuclear usually last 60 to 80 years, when wind farm is 30 years. As mentioned in the article the cost of nuclear is artificially inflated, like for redundant safety measures, and specifically in UK by the financing used (most of the cost come from interest).

We need to build cheaper and more nuclear power plants, and more wind farms too.

On one hand, high compile times make you think about your code more deeply. No one will dispute that this is a good discipline.

On the other hand, computers can check so many more cases more quickly and more correctly. I think there's a point at which you say, "I'm going to get better results by letting the machine do the work."
